7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Turzx 8.8 Inch Monitor, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the screen and exterior surfaces. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or aerosol sprays directly on the screen.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the monitor in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Handling: Always handle the monitor by its edges. Avoid applying pressure to the screen surface.

8. Troubleshooting

Q: The screen is not displaying anything or is not recognized by my computer.

A: Ensure that only one cable (USB Type-C or PH 9-pin) is connected to your computer for data and power. Connecting both simultaneously can prevent the device from functioning correctly. Also, verify that the USB Type-C cable is securely plugged into both the monitor and your computer.

Q: Where can I find the necessary drivers for the screen?

A: If the software installation does not automatically install all required drivers, please contact customer support to obtain them.

Q: The software is not launching or is showing errors.

A: Ensure your operating system is Windows 10 or Windows 11. Try reinstalling the TURZX software from the provided download link. Make sure your system meets any minimum requirements for the software.

Q: The screen is not playing multimedia from the TF card.

A: Ensure the TF card is properly inserted and contains compatible video or image files. Check if the files are corrupted. The internal storage (66MB) can also be used if no TF card is present.

• Personalize Your PC: Experiment with dynamic video backgrounds and the wide range of themes available through the TURZX software to truly customize your system's look.
